Hollywoodland (2006) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Hollywoodland works best -- as a cold look at the entertainment industry's obsession with youth and the fatality brought on by an errant wrinkle or gray hair, impressively encapsulated by Diane Lane's strong showing as the past-her-prime.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 8, 2006 Full Review Clerks II (2006) 63% 1/5 EDIT “Clerks II would make for an appropriate end to Smith's lackluster career.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 21, 2006 Full Review Giuliani Time (2005) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Keating, who has shot for the Maysles brothers and Barbara Kopple, amasses an impressive amount of evidence to bolster his claims, allowing the relative dryness of his style to be overshadowed by the revelatory nature of his research.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 12, 2006 Full Review Trudell (2005) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “Rae borrows a bit heavily from the Oliver Stone school of filmmaking: Quick cuts of seemingly random footage do more to draw attention to a possible dearth of relevant background materials than to evoke ideas of Native American history and struggle.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 24, 2006 Full Review Casanova (2005) 44% 1/5 EDIT “Full of weak whimsy, woefully unsuccessful tries at humor and awkwardness from first scene to last, Casanova must have been a disaster from the script stage, and Hallstrom's unsteady decisions only speed up the free fall.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 21, 2005 Full Review Loggerheads (2005) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “A message film delivered with subtlety and grace, not allowing its weighty subject matter to overshadow the quiet dignity of its characters.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 22, 2005 Full Review Three of Hearts: A Postmodern Family (2004) 79% 3/5 EDIT “The missed opportunities are impossible to ignore.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 21, 2005 Full Review Games of Love and Chance (2004) 78% 2/5 EDIT “Games of Love and Chance plays like a French version of Jim McKay's Our Song. But, unlike McKay's superior American version, Kechiche is unable to transform the everyday lives of his characters into something meaningful.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 1, 2005 Full Review The Constant Gardener (2005) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Well-crafted and sufficiently disturbing.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 26, 2005 Full Review Wall (2004) 68% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bitton slyly layers numerous interviews with locals atop the visuals, infusing each scene with an unexpectedly potent context.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 26, 2005 Full Review Monumental: David Brower's Fight for Wild America (2004) 79% 5/5 EDIT “[A] memorable portrait of one man's immeasurable passion for preservation.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 28, 2005 Full Review The Reception (2005) 68% 1/5 EDIT “The film presents its lofty goals as transparently as its publicity materials, its clunky dialogue and diminished production value adding to its inordinate lack of sophistication.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 18, 2005 Full Review Dark Water (2005) 47% 2/5 EDIT “A tepid startle-fest, with fairly run-of-the-mill scares that leave no lasting impression.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 10, 2005 Full Review A League of Ordinary Gentlemen (2004) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Browne's film succeeds on numerous levels, in no small part because he admirably balances the slow-pitch, flyover-state silliness of bowling with a genuine appreciation of the inherent tensions and rivalries in a professional spectator sport.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 2, 2005 Full Review Double Dare (2003) 97% 3/5 EDIT “Double Dare remains an entertaining and informative look at a little-known struggle for equality and respect in a physically unforgiving but completely vital Hollywood discipline.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 21, 2005 Full Review Mystery of the Nile (2005) 67% 4/5 EDIT “The courage, curiosity and perhaps partial insanity of the explorers -- not to mention the film crew -- are admirable, as their trials and tribulations yield stunning images galore.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 18, 2005 Full Review You I Love (2004) 39% 1/5 EDIT “A film with remarkably little to recommend it.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 5, 2004 Full Review Ae Fond Kiss ... (2004) 88% 2.5/5 EDIT “[Loach] sheds little new light on the inevitable clashes between parents rooted to their native culture and their Western-influenced offspring.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 29, 2004 Full Review A Silent Love (2004) 94% 1.5/5 EDIT “A poor script, occasionally baffling editing, and actors who cannot rise above the various missteps combine to make A Silent Love a messy, confusing debut that more resembles a student film than a theatrical release.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 28, 2004 Full Review Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of the American Empire (2004) 83% 3/5 EDIT “No doubt it's a strong case. Why, then, does it feel so unconstructive?” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 10, 2004 Full Review Virgin (2003) 38% 2.5/5 EDIT “Kampmeier reveals her inexperience as a feature filmmaker, and her effort struggles with the weight of its own subject matter and final ambiguities.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 5, 2004 Full Review Gozu (2003) 71% 2.5/5 EDIT “The overtly cerebral, surreal motifs of Gozu distract from Miike's potent -- and seriously twisted -- analyses of women and sex.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 8, 2004 Full Review Free Radicals (2003) 63% 2.5/5 EDIT “Aside from a few brief glimmers of hope or happiness, director Barbara Albert piles her compilation of abject misery a bit too high.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 23, 2004 Full Review Deadline (2004) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The film's indisputable overall message is chilling no matter what side of the debate you're on: Some innocent men almost died for crimes for which they were wrongly convicted, so maybe some other innocent men actually did die.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 5, 2004 Full Review I'll Sing for You (2001) 59% 2.5/5 EDIT “The final product feels frustratingly incomplete.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 4, 2004 Full Review
